I find the usenet archieve pretty cool as you can read and especially search usenet newsgroups without subscribing.
On the other hand I haven't found a way to read newsgroups with mozilla. Maybe that;s because I don't know what to fill the server field with and if a group I'm interested in is on that server.
Rox Filer has a better "spatial" behavior than any other file managers I've seen. Also KDE is too cluttered with stuff, i like the way new Gnome looks.
Although less hyped, JFS is doing pretty well so I see. I've been checking out other benchmarks as well. Some people mentioned it's even faster than XFS in some cases. I myself am using Reiser but I'm looking forward to checking out JFS in the future. It's been in the kernel long enough to have stabilized. XFS in kind of young in 2.4. Yes it has exsited before as a patch but I won't use anything on production systems until Linus accepts it in the mainstream kernel.
Actually Samba works great on FreeBSD as well. Not to mention the new UFS2 features in FreeBSD 5.x like access lists which enable you to set permissions on a Samba share just like you do to an NT share. Of course, most filesystems in Linux 2.6 have posix ACLs as well but I haven't tested such a setup yet.
First I thought they were commercials for some upcoming Star Wars cartoon. I lost most of them so.. Then again there was this mega-Toonami weekend which gave me the opportunity to watch all the series. It's pretty frustrating that they are so short. It's also that if you lose one episode, all is lost. They should rather do a full length cartoon.
I think the micro series are rather a marketing thing to test the waters of Star Wars animation, nothing more, nothing less.
Someone had a better solution for the single login which was Plan9 based, using Factotum. It should beat both Passport and Liberty Alliance. Here's more info about the Plan9 auth system (factotum/secstore):
It's too bulky, I wouldn't use something like that. My Palm V PDA is okay for size and has everything I need in a PDA, although the dafult calculator sucks. Handspring's is better. Yes I know Palm bought Handspring.

Why not just make a DVD image? I know not all people have DVDs but it would be cool as an alternative. It will also be nice if they distributed their ISOs via BitTotrrent.
Frankly XML is rather a pain to edit by hand. You end up writing more stuff, tags and such. I tried out SoL which has XML init scripts and I didn't like it. I like simple configuration files like the ones used for postfix (key = value, and $key).
But yes, XML is quite good when it comes to GUI apps. Gconf is a somewhat ok impementation of the registry concept. If something goes wrong, only the file that is being edited *may* get corrupted, not the entire registry. Xfce also use XML to store its configuration. And the Gaim folks made a wise decision when they moved to XML buddy lists and config.
Why would anyone pay $700 for a fat locked down device when they can get a new iBook or similar for ~1000$ or a second hand one even cheaper. Also, if i remember correctly, the iBook also has a video out port which you can easily link with a TV. Or, you can just get an iPod, which is significantly cheaper if you only want music. Heh, good luck Microsoft.
Perhaps this is a good time to make a list of distributors that sell computers 'trusted' computing, so people can avoid them. Just like that crippled 'copy protected' CDs list.
This can be used by the FBI do track down script kiddies. They put it on a couple of channels where the kiddie is on, see who's the kiddie's friends are, identify them, catch them, interrogate them, find out who the kiddie is and catch him.
Postfix is very good and not crippled by stupid DJB style "licenses" like qmail. I'm using in on all my boxes (FreeBSD, Linux) and one of them delivers large amounts of mail. Very fast delivery, supports all kinds of stuff (maildirs, MySQL, LDAP, delivery to Cyrus, etc.) has some builtin unsolicited bulk email controls and some resource controls and it doesn't require 1e13 users on the system like qmail does. I'm surprised people still use Sendmail (and argue that it's somehow "better"). Very cool piece of software. I'd like to thank Wietse Venema and IBM for it.
Some would argue about the license (especially BSD people who also argue about GPL being not liberal enough) but it's OSI approved so most arguments are vapour.
Doesn't work with my G450. Ut screw up everything, I'm not even getting a clean display -- it's all black. I've tried every stable version since 2.6.0 and neither worked. I even tried the matroxfb patch floating around but the kernel woldn;t even compile with it.
Oh and I want his=gh res console. The plain nonaccelerated fb it's slow and sucks.

Windows is just like a Petri dish, a good place for viruses to flourish in and spread from.
They'll get fined in EU again.

Death to all spyware bundlers! Why would anyone make business with such companies?
Isn't this going to bring any HP lawsuits?
Try Mutt or Elmo instead of pine. Good console mail clients.
Blah, where is all the fun then? You can't speed a self driven car!
This is the worst April Fool's joke I have ever heard.

Yes but in this case the trojan comes built into your computer by default, burned into ROM. Yay!

.. would be a good way to store recipes. Makes it even easier to contribute. Some kind of parser should parse them as HTML.
This is the right moment for kernel developers to sue SCO.
Whatever is wrong with 1.4? 2004.0 sounds/looks gay.
